Publication of Ian Fletcher's The Poems of John Gray (1988) was welcomed by reviewers in the U.S. and England. Now ELT Press offers a companion volume, The Selected Prose of John Gray.It complements the poetry by printing essays and short stories chosen from different periods of Gray's life--some selections previously unpublished, others having appeared only in limited periodical circulation.This new book adds to our understanding of Gray and topics relevant to the era. Professor McCormack explains the importance of the prose in her introduction: Gray has a significance for his time as a writer who has made the transition from the mannered decadence of "The Modern Actor" to the cryptic pre-modernist narrative of Park. As such, his work helps us reconstruct our own past: in particular, it requires us to acknowledge that abyss which lies between the late Victorian and the years after the Great War. As one who survived, not only personally but as a writer, Gray allows us to speculate on the strategies by which he sought to bridge that chasm. And in so doing, John Gray's work may provide an example of how on the edge of greater chasms, we may still presume to tell stories and to feel, in telling them, that they are permitted to tell us something about our experience--and ourselves.Professor McCormack traces the development of Gray's life and writings in her introductory essay. She prefaces each selection with a useful headnote. Her extensive notes to the prose clarify topical allusions and make Gray's work accessible to a wide audience.

English author Newbolt (1862-1938), a celebrated man of letters at the turn of the century, is today most often typecast as the leading jingoist of the Edwardian age, not unlike Kipling was until recently. Jackson (English, Texas A&amp;M U.), a geat-granddaughter of Newbolt, presents a reexamination of the man, his poetry, and their historical context. Published by ELT Press, U. of North Carolina, Greensboro, NC 27412. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Pater, Walter

Modernist scholars have written a handful of comparative studies on Pater and Joyce. Frank Moliterno's *The Dialectics of Sense and Spirit in Pater and Joyce* is the first book-length exploration into the aesthetic development of these writers that underscores the importance of Pater in Joyce's works. Much of Pater's and Joyce's aesthetics evolves from the dialectical tension between the sensual and the spiritual. The Paterian-Joycean syntheses of basic antinomies--religion and sensuality, empiricism and idealism, Aristotelian mimesis and aestheticism--result in kindred theories of art. 
Moliterno's highly readable account of the intellectual affinity between the two authors searches their relationship and Joyce's potential debt to Pater. In four main chapters Moliterno discusses the transition of Pater and Joyce from priests to artists and the parallel ways they portray this process in fiction; traces the Paterian elements of the aesthetics of Stephen Dedalus and of the mature Joyce; compares Pater's epiphanies with Joyce's to reveal how Pater helped shaped the Joycean epiphany; and analyzes the similar epistemologies behind the development of Pater's and Joyce's aesthetics. 
To some they may seem an odd match. Joyce, who sought to mirror the everyday lives of Dubliners through revolutionary literary techniques, appears to have little in common with Pater, the precious "father of aestheticism," precursor of Wilde and other aesthetes who detested the mimesis Joyce championed. As Moliterno's book reveals, however, Pater has more in common with Joyce in this regard than with the aesthetes of the fin de siM-hcle. 
Says Perry Meisel (New York University), Frank Moliterno's *The Dialectics of Sense and Spirit in Pater and Joyce* helps to complete a movement in modernist scholarship that is long overdue--the demonstration of Walter Pater's central importance as High British Modernism's chief Victorian precursor. Moliterno presents often eye-opening accounts of Pater's decisive significance for Joyce in both his personal development and in the literary achievement that stems from it. The Dialectics of Sense and Spirit is essential reading for all students of modernism in literature.

Dorothy Richardson's thirteen-volume Pilgrimage is crowded with references from the last decade of the Victorian era and the first decade of the twentieth century.Pilgrimage's stream-of-consciousness narrative evokes these references and interests in elusive, complex ways. Even accomplished readers, following in the wake of the heroine's personal revelations, are hard-pressed to understand aspects of the more public scene from turn-of-the-century England.Notes on 'Pilgrimage', by identifying historical persons, events, ideas, quotations as well as writings that underpin Richardson's story, illuminates these factual details and enriches our understanding of the narrative. A translation of foreign words and phrases, a record of textual misprints and a thorough two-part index add to the value of the book.
